    Respiratory problem

    I finally got a vet out here, I guess when you say money isn't option and mean it the vets will do whatever they can to get their hands on it. so the charge for the vet to come to my barn (just travelling fees) was $250.00. But whatever. She came out and checked him over, there is quite a rattle...

    Respiratory problem

    Long story short, just went down to the barn and Simon is doing some heavy coughing, he's always had a slight cough but this is bad. He coughed for about 5 minutes straight a little bit ago, stopped for a few minutes then went back to coughing. His breathing seems very laboured like he can't get...

    Anyone in Alberta

    We've been looking at apartments and townhouses for rent between calgary and Red Deer, I'm going to be going to school at Olds College so I'm pretty excited. Leaving my 2 boys in Nova Scotia while I'm gone that's the only thing that makes me really sad about moving away for a couple years. As...

    Anyone in Alberta

    A couple of my friends and I are moving to Alberta next year, I'm going to school and the other two have jobs lined up, but we are trying to figure out how much it's going to cost. We have a rough idea for apartments but how much do utilities usually run? Just a rough estimate.

    Miniature Trailer

    I'm going to pick up my trailer on Sunday and will essentially be beating my guts out to get it ready for the road by the end of the month. It's a single horse trailer, so the question is how big of an area do each of my boys need to stand comfortably in the trailer? Si is my biggest at 31" and...

    Impatiently awaiting warmer months

    While I've been sitting around going crazy because it seems to be too cold for me to enjoy much of anything these days I got to thinking. I'm going away this coming summer, how long should I be letting my boys out on grass to get them used to it before we leave? like 20 minutes a day for a week...

    Life lessons horses have taught us

    I'm one of those pierced in several places, heavily tattooed, hair evey color of the rainbow type of people but I learned at an early age that with my animals, mainly the horses, there is a huge responsibility. I learned more from my horses then I ever could of in school, compassion, patience...

    I'm trying to prepare myself for the coming fly season (it's on it's way I know it is, it has to be here soon, I can't stand this cold weather anymore) and I found out last year, Spirit and the flies don't get along. Needless to say I'm going to need a fly mask in a bad way this year, last year...

    Hoof abscess

    Thanks everyone, I'm now using a combo of duct tape and vetwrap...we've had so much rain the past couple days that the paddock looks like a pond so I also used the old feed bag idea which has worked great.
